> "The ULTIMATE Shotokan Karate training opportunity!"
>
> Would you like to go to Japan to train at Shotokan's source?
>
> Don't speak Japanese? Too expensive and time-consuming?
>
> If you could roll together the best of training in Japan over the past
> 50 years and have it described, explained and demonstrated to you in
> English, how interested would you be in that?
>
> For the third time, a total of over a dozen instructors, all of whom
> lived and trained in Japan, will come together to teach as a collective
> unit. This event will involve 14 to 16 instructors teaching a total of
> 47 seminars over a 5-day period. Many of these instructors trained
> directly with Nakayama Sensei prior to his passing in 1987. Most lived
> in Japan for many years and have gained experiences that may be
> invaluable to your own training. The Hoitsugan Seminars have set a new
> standard of excellence. This event is a MUST for all those serious
> about improving their ability in and understanding of Shotokan.
>
> Some of our Elite Instructors Include:
>
> Richard Amos • Michael Berger • Vincent Cruz • Gary Friederich •
> Aaron Hoopes • Steve Ubl • James Yabe

Please note that the deadline for the seminar prepayment
discount has been extended to March 3. If you are a
full-time student, you can take advantage of a triple
discount if you send in your payment now for 4 or more
sessions. The best deal, though, is signing up for the
entire event. Imagine training with so many instructors
who have devoted so much time and effort into living
and training at the source in Japan, in up to 30
different seminars. There really is nothing else to
compare to the Hoitsugan Seminars...

Every serious Shotokan practitioner within driving distance
should be at this event and many are flying in from as far
as several thousand miles away to attend this. Please do
not miss this amazing opportunity.

Please forward this information on to all who may be
interested in taking advantage of what is surely going to
be one of the best Shotokan training opportunities
anywhere, ever.

And please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Thank you,
Jon Keeling
